1. Opening Words
----------------

                           TO MAKE IT CLEAR :

            The name has nothing to do with the drug Ecstasy !

          We are clean (we even never used), so please follow us !



2. Introduction
---------------


This is still a Beta-Relaes , so please forgive us any bugs,
better get in contact with us.
If you encounter any problems with playing one of your favourite modules,
don't hesitate and send it right to us! Please include a little text where
you have found the 'bug' and which player plays it correctly.


3. Known bugs
-------------

The Farandole loader doesn't recognise all of the commands defined in this
standard. (We only had three modules for our tests)

The DMF loader only supports global commands. Do not write any bug reports
concerning the 'bugs' that occur through missing effects !

The DOS Shell is VERY BUGGY ! It was implemented on the fly, so don't 
criticise it ! I will try to improve it in the next version !
If it crashs, type EXIT to return to the player, exit the player immediately
and run ULTRINIT.

Further Bugs:
    No further bugs known yet.

    If you find some (or more), please send your reports to one of the
    addresses below via Net or Crashmail, possible Modules via fileattach.

                    THANX A LOT FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

6. Final Words

Disclaimer :

We're not responsible for any possible damage to your soft- and hardware.
The only thing we guarantee is , that XTC-Play will take some of your
disk-space , nothing more.


XTC-Play is distributed as Moduleware , this means if you find this little
piece of art useful and if you're connected to the FIDO-NET , sent some
of your best modules to Mautschi's Castle (+49-2632-46152 / 2:2454/524).
Either via Fileattach or simply upload them :-)


That's all for now, folks,

And don't forget :
